MEET THE H & S FEED & COUNTRY STORE PET OF THE WEEK: “BINGO”

Posted on by Bob Ballard

This week’s H & S Feed & Country Store Pet of the Week is “Bingo”, a 3 year old Walker Coonhound mix. He’s energetic, confident and friendly, but he’s not a fan of cats. He’s a big boy and needs some leash-training, but would make a great addition to your family.

If you’d like to set up an appointment to meet Bingo or any of the pets at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter, visit https://www.stephenmemorial.org/ and fill out an adoption application.

Marty Stuart Announces New Digital Album, Drops First Song

Posted on by Bob Ballard
Marty Stuart is releasing a new digital album. “Songs I Sing In The Dark” will feature 20 songs, with Marty sharing one tune each month.

“The title tells the story. I have a long line of songs that range from obscure, originals, to old favorites from various musical worlds that I often sing to myself when I’m alone,” Marty shares. “Until recently, I had never formally made a list of all the titles.”

He adds, “When I did, I saw in those titles so many great songs that need to be remembered and passed down. There was a mighty congregation of names of profound songwriters whose presence and lyrics are to be cherished,” noting, “In the wake of these revelations, I was inspired to finally go to work on the idea of Songs I Sing in the Dark.”

  • The album’s first release is the tune “Ready for The Times To Get Better.” “As the pandemic raged on, ‘Ready For The Times To Get Better’ became my personal theme song,” he says. “I can’t seem to quit playing it. Several months later, I’m still at it.”

“We used it to work on ourselves because we were by ourselves for two weeks, almost three weeks,” Garth told guest host Stephen “tWitch” Boss. “I think 99.9% of people wouldn’t have done what I [did], but I thought since we’re here, and we ain’t got nowhere to go, let’s just attack some of the hardest things over the 15 years that bugs one of us, right?”

Garth added, “And it was like living in a little house. You couldn’t go anywhere, so you couldn’t walk away from the conversation. And I thought it was great, I think we came out the other end even closer and tighter than we were when we went in.”

  • Trisha even Zoom-bombed the chat, and agreed with Garth that the time they spent together was good for their relationship. She noted, “If you can talk about the hard stuff, it’s good. And we’re in this for the long haul.”
